Smarths RO-1: Pure Alkaline Drinking Water for Your Houston Home
Four-stage reverse osmosis filtration that removes up to 99% of contaminants and delivers mineral-rich alkaline water straight from your kitchen tap.
The Cleanest Drinking Water Available — Right From Your Kitchen Faucet
Even if your home has a whole-house water softener, the water coming from your kitchen tap has likely passed through miles of aging pipes before reaching your glass. Along the way it picks up trace amounts of lead, copper, bacteria, chlorine byproducts, fluoride, nitrates, arsenic, and pharmaceutical residues. Municipal treatment removes the most dangerous contaminants, but many trace elements pass through undetected. Bottled water seems like the obvious answer, but it’s expensive, wasteful, and often no purer than filtered tap water. The Smarths RO-1 is the right answer: a compact, under-sink reverse osmosis system that removes up to 99% of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and delivers clean, crisp, mineral-balanced alkaline water on demand.
Four-Stage Filtration Technology
The RO-1 processes your water through four sequential stages, each targeting different categories of contaminants:
- Stage 1 — Sediment Pre-Filter: Removes dirt, sand, rust particles, and suspended solids that could damage the RO membrane. Changed every 6 months.
- Stage 2 — Carbon Block Filter: Eliminates chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bad taste, and odors. Changed every 6 months.
- Stage 3 — RO Membrane: The core of the system. A semi-permeable membrane with pores so small they block up to 99% of TDS including lead, fluoride, arsenic, nitrates, heavy metals, bacteria, and microplastics. Changed every 12–18 months.
- Stage 4 — Post-Carbon Polishing Filter: A final activated carbon pass that removes any residual taste or odor from the storage tank and adds mineral balance for a clean, alkaline finish. Changed every 12 months.
What Is Alkaline Water and Why Does It Matter?
Standard reverse osmosis filtration removes almost everything from water — including beneficial minerals. The RO-1’s post-carbon stage re-mineralizes the filtered water, restoring a natural mineral balance and raising the pH to a mildly alkaline level. The result is water that tastes noticeably cleaner and lighter than typical filtered or bottled water, with a natural alkalinity that many health-conscious consumers actively seek out. Alkaline water with a pH between 7.5 and 8.5 is widely considered optimal for everyday hydration, and many Smarths customers report that their RO-1 water is the best-tasting water they’ve ever had in their home.

What Is Alkaline Water and Why Does It Matter?
Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular tap water and often contains beneficial minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Many people believe that drinking alkaline water can help neutralize acid in the body, improve hydration, and support overall wellness.
Advantage of alkaline water:
- May aid in acid reflux relief
- Better hydration due to smaller water clusters
- Potential antioxidant properties
- Enhances detoxification
- Supports better bone health with trace minerals
While science continues to explore the full benefits, millions have turned to alkaline water as a proactive way to support a healthier lifestyle—and the Smarths RO-1 makes it easy to enjoy right at home.
Four-Stage Filtration Technology
The Smarths RO-1 uses a streamlined four-stage process to deliver purity that rivals five-stage systems—with fewer filter replacements and lower maintenance costs:
- HDG-SED5 – Sediment Pre-Filter: Captures dirt, sand, rust, and debris.
- HDG-CB5 – Carbon Block Filter: Removes chlorine, bad taste, odors, and organic chemicals.
- HDG-TW50 – Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Eliminates up to 99% of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), including heavy metals, fluoride, and microbes.
- HDG-CB5P – Post-Carbon Filter: Final polishing stage for better flavor and odor control.
This configuration provides a balanced combination of protection and performance, all in a space-saving design.
Is Tap Water Safe to Drink?
Many homeowners ask, is tap water safe to drink? The answer depends on your local supply. While most municipal water systems are regulated, they can still contain trace amounts of:
- Chlorine and disinfectant byproducts
- Lead from old plumbing
- Nitrates from agriculture
- Microplastics and PFAS (forever chemicals)
- Pharmaceuticals and hormone residues
The Smarths RO-1 gives you peace of mind with every glass. It’s not just about removing visible particles—it’s about protecting your family from the contaminants you can’t see.
